Blackdown Tableland National Park

Blackdown Tableland National Park is a nature reserve built on a sandstone plateau featuring steep cliffs, deep gorges, eucalypt forests, and heathlands. The terrain supports different plant and animal communities across its varied landscapes.

The area became a protected park in 2006 when Queensland authorities established it to safeguard the region's diverse landscapes and wildlife. This designation represented an effort to preserve these natural spaces for the future.

The Ghungalu people have long ties to this land, with rock art sites scattered throughout showing their historical presence and way of life here. These artworks reveal how communities shaped and lived in this place across many generations.

The park has one camping area called Munall with basic facilities, though visitors need to bring their own water supply. Being prepared for limited amenities and bringing enough water for your stay is essential.

The plateau's elevated position creates distinctive weather patterns with fog and drizzle during winter months, setting it apart from the dry surroundings. This microclimate makes the location weather-wise entirely different from the landscapes around it.
